Why So Few Immigrants Live In West Virginia

West Virginia is home to 1.8 million people, but only about 2% were born in another country, the lowest share of any state in America. Drive 20 minutes east into Northern Virginia, and suddenly one in three people around you is foreign-born. It's one of the sharpest demographic borders in the country. While the rest of America experienced a historic immigration wave, West Virginia mostly sat it out. But that absence may now be its biggest problem. With a shrinking workforce, one of the nation's oldest populations, and more deaths than births each year, the state is running out of the very people it needs to survive. ► 1 Insane Geography Fact About Every US State    • 1 Insane Geography Fact About Every US State   ► 50 Crazy Geography Facts About Minnesota (You Won't Believe)    • 50 Crazy Geography Facts About Minnesota (...   ► 50 Crazy Geography Facts About Connecticut (You Don't Know These)    • 50 Crazy Geography Facts About Connecticut...   While we do our best to provide you with the most accurate information.
